Amanda Seyfried has said she’d like Sydney Sweeney and Sabrina Carpenter to appear in Mamma Mia 3.
Speculation over Mamma Mia 3 has been rife over the past few years, with producer Judy Craymer saying back in 2020 that “there was meant to be a trilogy”. The original adaptation of the ABBA musical came out in 2008 with the sequel, Here We Go Again, arriving in 2018.
Christine Baranski (Tanya Chesham-Leigh) said last August that she had met with producer Judy Craymer. A few months later, Pierce Brosnan revealed he had met with her also.
Back in June this year, Carpenter was also linked to a role in a possible third outing of the movie. In an interview with Deadline at the time, Craymer hinted Carpenter could be involved in the film too.
Now, Seyfried has further stoked the rumours by saying she’d like Carpenter in a third iteration of the movie – as well as Sweeney.
The Oscar-nominated star has said previously that she’d be open to Carpenter joining the franchise, and in a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, she added that her The Housemaid co-star Sweeney should get in on the film too.
Now, in a new interview with Entertainment Tonight at the Governors Awards, Seyfried was asked about where a third Mamma Mia film was up to. “Maybe I’m just naive, but I’m pretty sure Mamma Mia 3 is a done deal,” she told the outlet.
She then added: “I love portraying a mum, so I would love to see Sophie [her character in the film] with her kids. Maybe she has a cousin she hasn’t seen in a while, and that could be Sabrina Carpenter. And then Sydney Sweeney could show up. There’s a bunch of girls that really want to be a part of it, and I’m all for it.”
Sweeney has previously revealed that she would like to take part in Mamma Mia, telling Variety in 2023: “I’ve always wanted to go to Greece. I love Mamma Mia — something like that would be really fun.”
Craymer has previously confirmed that a third film was well into development to Deadline. “Well, we know what we want to do with the movie, and it will happen. And I mean, we brought together this amazing group of movie stars that were all connected through it and huge friendships evolved,” she said.
Despite noting that there was a script, she didn’t disclose any plot details.
Meanwhile, she also hinted at the possibility of a TV version of the beloved musical. “It’ll be a comedy-drama made for TV. I’m not doing that now,” she said. “But I’m just saying it could happen.”
